Dayne started Flint's Future Now in 2008 to help win the fight against unemployment,
crime, and a culture of irresponsibility. Growing up in Flint during better days,
Dayne knows that it is hard working people that have made this city what it is today.
In addition to running for mayor in Flint, Dayne has worked for U.S. Congressman Dale Kildee, Washington, D.C.'s mayor Anthony Williams, and the Genesee Institute at the Genesee County Land Bank. Dayne has coordinated grants and programs for community organizations of all sizes including Flint Club, which he co-founded. He is now the Manager of 21st Century Performance, a Flint-based company that works with private and nonprofit organizations to develop innovative solutions that benefit democracy's bottom line—people.
Dayne and his wife Carrie and sons Bennett and Emery live in the neighborhood that he grew up in. They are invested in Flint as a family and want to see every child have a future here.
